Breitling SuperOcean Heritage B01 Chronograph 44mm 18K Gold Steel Papers

WHY THIS WATCH

The Bear is Back!

 

Every year, Oris releases a Limited Edition run of watches to celebrate Holstein, the village Oris was founded in and still works out of today. The Holstein collection is one that usually sells out pretty quickly and collectors look forward to. This 2021 Holstein watch is limited to a run of 250 watches. 

Inspired by the Original Big Crown 

 

This watch has vintage feels, taking inspiration from the original Oris Big Crown from 1938. The case is the perfect size for a neo-vintage piece, at 38mm, the case is both polished and brushed. Dial-side we have a Matte Grey dial, showing a very nice pointer date complication. I've always been a fan of pointer dates, as I feel they maintain the symmetry of the dial. Flip the watch over and you get a nice engraving of the Oris Bear mascot. 

Bullet-Proof Calibre

 

Inside we have an ORIS Calibre 403, which has a longer than usual 5 day power reserve, and one of the best warranties in the business of 10 years. It's worth mentioning that the calibre this is based on, the Oris 400 is known to be a very reliable and bulletproof calibre. 

  

Wrist Impressions

 

I've always loved matte grey dials and straps, and this watch is no exception. There's just enough color here with a touch of red at 6PM for the seconds hand. The pointer date is truly useful and easy to read. At 38mm this watch is going to fit almost anyone perfectly. The big crown makes a statement but doesn't get in the way.
